In the following article I offer nothing more than simple facts, plain arguments, and common sense; and have no other business to settle with the reader, than that you will rid yourself of prejudice and prepossession, and suffer your reason and your feelings to determine for yourselves; that you will put on, or rather that you will not put off, the true character of a human being, and generously enlarge your views beyond the present day.

Volumes have been written on the subject of the struggle between Government and the Governed. People of all ranks have embarked in the controversy, from different motives, and with various designs; but all have been ineffectual, and the period of debate is closed. Arms, as the last resort, decide the contest; the appeal was the choice of D.C., and free people have to accept the challenge.

Abuse of opioids including illicit forms and prescribed painkillers has been a problem the
United States has struggled with for a long time, even before the 1900s. In 1998,
Bayer, a leading pharmaceutical company, started producing heroin, an opioid for
commercial purposes. It was touted a “wonder drug” from its first clinical trials making
its use widely spread. Even the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment director
Kimberly Johnson mentioned that during the early 1900s, derivatives of heroin and
other substances weren’t a big deal, saying that drugs such as heroin were used to
suppress coughs.

I wanted to take some time and bring attention to a situation that some of my readers in the Ukraine are experiencing. Not only do I want these readers to have access to information without censorship, but I also want this situation to be brought to the attention of all free peoples of the world. Some may herald the times we live in as more free than ever before, and it is this semi-complacent view which drives me to bring attention to those sections of the world, near and far, which may be experiencing media censorship.

A recent FBI document on Black Identity Extremism explains that individuals upset with "perceived injustice" may become more likely to target Law Enforcement officials. While much of the report outlines assumptions based on "confirmed BIE (Black Identity Extremism)" such as the July 7th 2016 shooting by Army Reserve and Afghan War Veteran Micah Johnson; some of the language seems to show a slightly different narrative. While I suggest that you read the entire report to gain a full understanding, here are some excerpts that I thought were worth mentioning outright. (Emphasis mine)

"Advance freedom for the benefit of the American people and the international community by helping to build and sustain a more democratic, secure, and prosperous world composed of well-governed states that respond to the needs of their people, reduce widespread poverty, and act responsibly within the international system."

The document dated May 2017 was released by the New Jersey Office of Homeland Security and preparedness. It outlines the motivations of Antifa and outlines some recent confrontations between Antifa and white supremacist and patriot groups.

So... I'm looking at this "God Awful exploitation of Auschwitz by a US Congressman"... and it got me to wondering. Just what was so offensive? The prevailing narrative is that Louisiana Representative Clay Higgins used the World War II era concentration camp as "a stage". His public narrative video was posted to social media and quickly drew the ire and condemnation of nearly everyone.

If it was possible for men, who exercise their reason to believe,
that the divine Author of our existence intended a part of the human
race to hold an absolute property in, and an unbounded power over
others, marked out by his infinite goodness and wisdom, as the objects
of a legal domination never rightfully resistible, however severe and
oppressive, the inhabitants of these colonies might at least require
from the parliament of Great-Britain some evidence, that this dreadful
authority over them, has been granted to that body. But a reverance for
our Creator, principles of humanity, and the dictates of common sense,
must convince all those who reflect upon the subject, that government
was instituted to promote the welfare of mankind, and ought to be
administered for the attainment of that end. The legislature of
Great-Britain, however, stimulated by an inordinate passion for a power
not only unjustifiable, but which they know to be peculiarly reprobated
by the very constitution of that kingdom, and desparate of success in
any mode of contest, where regard should be had to truth, law, or right,
have at length, deserting those, attempted to effect their cruel and
impolitic purpose of enslaving these colonies by violence, and have
thereby rendered it necessary for us to close with their last appeal
from reason to arms. - Yet, however blinded that assembly may be, by
their intemperate rage for unlimited domination, so to sight justice and
the opinion of mankind, we esteem ourselves bound by obligations of
respect to the rest of the world, to make known the justice of our
cause.

I thank you for the
compliment which has just been tendered me, and to show my appreciation
of it I will not afflict you with many words.

It is pleasant to celebrate
in this peaceful way, upon this old mother soil, the anniversary of an
experiment which was born of war with this same land so long ago, and
wrought out to a successful issue by the devotion of our ancestors. It
has taken nearly a hundred years to bring the English and Americans into
kindly and mutually appreciative relations, but I believe it has been
accomplished at last.

By Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Listen, my children, and you shall hear
Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere,
On the eighteenth of April, in Seventy-Five:
Hardly a man is now alive
Who remembers that famous day and year.
